He lost his job as a result

A mercy dash to help a stranded ex-girlfriend landed one man in court when he was found to be over the drink-drive limit. Thomas West, a welder from London Road, Balderton, was spotted in his car by a police officer, in a marked police car, at 2.37am on December 11.

Earlier, West had picked up his ex-partner, but they had an argument and she got out of the car in rural Brecks Lane, Nottingham Magistrates' Court heard on Tuesday . "He said he had a 'couple of beers'," explained Peter Bettany, prosecuting. After giving a postive roadside breath test, West was taken to a police station where he blew 81 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, over the legal limit of 35.
